Shadows

4.

On Monday I still haven't heard anything from Blake. Not that I expected anything but I did hope I would at least reach out in some way.

at school nothing changed, except for the fact that I felt different. I couldn't stop thinking about me holding Blakes hands, and when I saw the hurt. I didn't felt pity, just the urge to fix him.

'Chrissy' Mike yelled and I blinked out of my thoughts.

'welcome on earth' Alison said sarcastically and I smiled sarcastically back.

'let's go' Mike clamped his arm in mine and pulled me to the Spanish Classroom. My only class with Blake, may I add.

'let's stare at Blake for 50 minutes again' Mike smirks and I roll my eyes

'has he talked to you after he invited you to the party?' he asks

Oh yeah.. I haven't told anyone about what happened at the party. Not that I don't want anyone to know, it just seemed a little personal to Blake and when I tell the story I need to tell the whole story.

'no' I smiled small and sat down

'sure' Mike rolls his eyes again

'I swear I didn't talk to him' I exclaim, he chuckles and grabs his books.

I look up when the whole class quiets down. As I expected Blake came in, with his headphones on as always. His eyes scanned the classroom and stopped when he saw me. I smiled at him and he gave a small smile back. He then blinks and sits down at the seat he always sits.

'what was that?' Mike breaks my stare at Blake

'I have no idea' I tell him honestly. I really don't5 know what happens, this was the closest thing to smile he's ever gotten at school. and it was towards me?!

At the lunch break I walk with Mike to Alison's locker where Sophie and Alison where already standing.

'hey peaches' I yell, I always call them that since it's a fun turn on bitches.

'hello' Sophie pokes in my side.

'Blake smiled at Chrissy at Spanish' Mike blurts out

'thanks for letting me tell them Mike' I say sarcastically as both the girls gasp.

'he what?' Sophie asks

'he smiled' I tell them 'but really small and I'm sure it meant nothing'

'oh don't be shy, he has never smiled at anyone before and he smiles at you?!' Alison exclaims 'I'm sure it meant something'

'yeah sure' I said and then all 6 eyes in front of me focused on something behind me. 'what'

I turned around to see Blake walking in my direction. I crossed my arms as I watched him stop in front of me and pulled his headphones off.

'Blake bloomingdale' I stated

'Christina Hastings' he also stated and put his hands in the pockets of his jeans.

'what?' I raise an eyebrow

'look I don't really do this often but I wanted to thank you for you know, wh- ehm-'

'I know' I said and he smiled awkwardly

'well thanks and ehm-' he looks around

'I'll see you around' I see and he nods

'see you' he turns around and so do I. 'wait'

I turn around again to Blake, 'can I have your phone number. You know in case I want to invite you to a party again'

'ehm no' I raised my eyebrows

'oh' he awkwardly looks around

'I'm kidding' I exclaim and laugh 'don't know what sarcasm is?'

'of course I know I just-' he chuckles awkwardly

'just give me your damn phone' I put my hand out for him to put his phone in.

'here' he gave me his phone. I added a contact, I added my number and wrote "Chrissy" with a little sunflower emoji as my name.

'thanks' he smirks, turns around so flawlessly and walks away.

'oh' Alison mumbles when I turn around

'my' Sophie adds

'fucking god' Mike exclaims and I roll my eyes.

'what the fuck did he thank you for'

There is no way not explaining it now.

'so he did talk to me at the party' I say and tell the whole story

'how did you stay so calm, he's fucking imitating when he's just normal, let alone when he mad' Alison exclaimed and I shrugged.

'I just- I'm not scared of him and I thought that if I stay calm, maybe he will calm down too'

'and it worked'

'I guess it did' I smiled and they clapped

'calm down will you, it meant nothing'  I roll my eyes

'oh little innocent Chrissy' Mike mumbled

'you calmed him down, he came back to you to thank you, he got awkward for you and he asked for your number' Sophie stated

'girl if you still think that means nothing, you're fucking stupid' Alison said and I rolled my eyes.

I knew it meant something, I just wasn't sure what it meant. I've only had one boyfriend before and the way we got together was kind of weird, it didn't have all of this shit before of that relationship. So I have no idea what he thinks of me right now, at least I'm not a complete stranger to me, and he doesn't hate me- well I don't know that.

I then felt my phone bussing in my pocket.

'speaking of the devil' I mumbled as I read the text he send me.

Blake Bloomingdale:
Are you willing to meet me in the parc after school?

Chrissy Hastings:
since when do you ask people things? I though you only commanded

Blake bloomingdale:
do you want to meet me not?

Chrissy Hastings:
Sure

Blake bloomingdale:
okay, the fountain

Chrissy Hastings:
Back to commanding I see, but all right

Blake Bloomingdale:
you're tiering

Chrissy Hastings:
you're annoying, see you at the fountain after school

I put my phone away and looked up at my friends, they where all reading my text and smirking like idiots.

'if you don't remove those smirks off your faces I will personally kill you with the first object I find'
